Lyric

The Shadow Side of Truth

Project FAWN

The right signs in the gloom

You can see

Your life is turning

Spinning fast, so bold

Burning through days

Like receipts in your hand

Every breath balanced

Against some distant plan

But if you were able

To see the shadow side of truth

What do you expect to see

When it finally turns

When it finally turns

If you were able

To lean past the edge a bit

What do you expect to see

When it finally burns

When it finally burns

Maybe there’s a garden

Growing in the cracks

Old friends laughing

Never checking facts

Maybe there’s a bedroom

Where you’re still sixteen

Posters on the wall

Heart still half-asleep

But if you were able

To see the shadow side of truth

What do you expect to see

When it finally turns

When it finally turns

If you were able

To lean past the edge a bit

What do you expect to see

When it finally burns

When it finally burns

Is it real?

Is it clear?

Is it sound?

Is it worth all the cost?

Is it yours, what you control?

To get your real truth

But if you were able

To see the shadow side of truth

What do you expect to see

When it finally turns

When it finally turns

If you were able

To lean past the edge a bit

What do you expect to see

When it’s finally yours

When it’s finally yours

    Silent Core

    Project FAWN

"Order," attempting to govern the world through rigid frameworks of logic, "Chaos," eroding boundaries with uncontrollable impulse, and the inner "Rationalization" that seeks to justify one's actions. Broken Compass is a concept album structured around the dialogue and collision between these three incompatible forces.

The narrative unfolds through the entanglement of meticulously calculated digital soundscapes and emotive, human melodies. The compass that once provided a clear path eventually shatters under the weight of deception and internal conflict. Yet, it is in that very place--the core of silence known as the "Void"--that this album suggests true healing and forgiveness begin.

How you perceive the conclusion of this 34-minute, eight-track journey is left entirely to you as you immerse yourself in these soundscapes. What will you discover beyond the endless silence? We invite you to experience this solitary path and uncover your own answer.
